Ergonomic and Design Theory

The Mirra was designed to meet five criteria: support, comfort, diversity, durability, and environment. Mirra has a shaped backrest that follows the lumbar curve and the PostureFit system supports the pelvis to prevent slouching. The Harmonic Tilt mechanism is designed to allow the user to keep moving in the chair, which will help prevent back pain. The forward tilt mechanism is available to release the chair into a more forward tilting position for typing with your back at a 90-degree angle to the desk.

For comfort, the Mirra addresses the two main underlying issues: pressure distribution and thermal control. The seat is design to reduce pressure spot on the sitting bones, and the pressure is further reduced when reclining as is recommended from time to time. Both the seat and the backrest allow air to flow freely and keep both the lower and upper parts of your body at the same ambient temperature.

Presenting the Nine-0™ Swivel Armchair by Ettore Sottsass. The designer, who helped found the Memphis Group and created the iconic Olivetti Valentine typewriter, finished his seating collection for Emeco shortly before his death on December 31, 2007. The name “Nine-0” refers to the age Sottsass was when he designed the collection, which is handcrafted in Pennsylvania using the same 77-step process that Emeco first developed for its 1006 Navy® Chair. Sottsass was one of the first designers to use the 1006 Navy in residential applications, and the Nine-0™ is his reinterpretation of that classic chair. The first 200 Nine-0 Swivel Armchairs are available exclusively through DWR. These chairs are first-run numbered editions, and orders are filled in the order they are received. To order multiples that are ensured to be sequential, contact us at 1.216.378.0996 or mangelino@dwr.com. Each chair is signed and numbered. The Nine-0™, like all Emeco chairs, is crafted of 80% recycled aluminum and has an estimated lifespan of 150 years. Made in U.S.A.
